What Happens When We Sleep? | 5 Different Sleep Cycles | ZzzQuil

Показать описание

Do you know what happens to your body when we sleep? First, your body produces melatonin that signals to your body when it’s time to sleep. There are 5 different sleep cycles you can go through, each with its own purpose. Fall asleep naturally with ZzzQuil Melatonin Gummies:

Each sleep session has 5 different stages and each cycle usually lasts about 90 minutes.

Stage 1: You're pretty much half-asleep, your muscles start to relax as your body starts to rest

Stage 2: That much-needed rest. In this stage, your heart rate and blood pressure slow down, your body temperature drops.

Stages 3 & 4: Deep restorative sleep. In your deepest sleep cycle, your body is actually doing a lot of work! A growth hormone is released to keep you strong and growing.

Stage 5: Brings you to REM sleep - vivid emotional dreams as you brain revs up.

So make sure to get that shut-eye because it regulates your mood and your immune system, improves learning and memory and controls hunger.

The last bit is what caught my eye. For the past seven years I was working the overnight shift in one of my local hospitals, having a normal life outside of work meant I was barely getting any proper sleep whatsoever! I was always hungry while at work which prompted me eating heavily throughout the shift, this of course led to a weight gain that I struggled to keep in check over the years, now that I am finally working a regular day shift I have noticed I don't need to eat as often...or as much quite honestly like I previously did. A quick snack and some water is all I need!
